Treat this project as you would a safari: It has its slow parts but the wildlife makes it worthwhile.

He's so over-energized from the start you keep thinking he'll wear out his welcome pronto; an hour and a half later, his lunacy is still hard to take your eyes off. [04Feb1994 Pg. F6]

The New York Times
The movie has the metabolism, logic and attention span of a peevish 6-year-old.

Empire
Neither terrible, boring nor soporific, just not very funny.

From the start, it's obvious that this is a vehicle for his comedy, and it mostly works -- for about ten to fifteen minutes. After that, Carrey's act gradually grows less humorous and more tiresome, and the laughter in the audience seems forced.
